translation:some snapshots from friday and saturday. my cousin came to visit from oslo, she brought licorice! we went to a concert at southbank centre and listened to jostein’s music in a dark room there. we went on a picnic, made pancakes for breakfast, went to a nice bar around waterloo with people in jostein’s class.

Hello Mariell, I’ve never commented on your blog before but I’ve been reading for a while, I’m such a fan of your inspiring photos. I actually came here to ask if you were around Waterloo on Friday night as I think my bandmates and I walked past you! I didn’t want to say anything at the time, it seemed too weird and fan girlish, but now I’ve come here I realise you must have been at PureGold launch as well! A group I run are programming one of the concerts during the festival. All of the Purcell Room music was amazing- please tell Jostein we all loved it and want to do something similar, if he ever wants somebody to collaborate with our next concert is in a converted house and is house themed, we are currently experimenting with a kitchen soundscape :) Beautiful blog post as usual, thanks for your wonderful posts! Laila

wow! it’s always so strange when readers from london comment on here having seen me somewhere, i keep thinking that london is much too big for that. thank you for your kind words, i’m glad you liked jostein’s music! if you’re interested in working with him, you could mail him at avdemfretland (@) gmail.com. m.

Yes quite strange I imagine! I hope that didn’t freak you out! I only just came back to check for a reply! I am sorry. Thank you so much for replying – I will e-mail Jostein now to see if he would be interested. Congratulations on the move to your own website – how exciting to be complete master of your own space on the web! Good luck for a smooth transition :) x p.s. I think I saw you again a few weeks near the allotment in new cross gate. I buy nearly all my of food there. xx
